CW : death of a partner and grief

I knew going into this book it will be sad but the way it ended up made me so heartbroken. Following Julie as she navigates life after her boyfriend Sam dies brought back memories for me. Reading as she tried to hold on to Sam and forgetting that he was gone. Or losing herself and her friends because of Sam was just ... ugh. It pulled at my heartstrings.

What made me love this story is how she was able to connect with Sam again. I wish that and I’m sure other people wish that they had one last phone call, hug, day, with their loved one that they lost. I lost my dad (pre-COVID) and I .. oh how I wish I can pick up the phone (which I have done a lot recently) and hopes that I can hear his voice again. I listen to his voicemails a lot 😭

Cherish the people you love and who are still with you because like the old saying goes you never know when it’s somebody’s last day and like Julie she regretted her last words she said to Sam and how she treated him on the night he passed. I’m glad that in the end she was able to find some comfort and was able to let go in a way but still hold on to Sam in some way shape or form.

Thank you so much Netgalley and Dustin Thao for the advanced review copy of this book!

It's been only a few days since Sam died just weeks before his high school graduation. Julie, his bereaved girlfriend, can not cope. Really, she refuses to cope. Beside herself with grief - and guilt surrounding the circumstances of his death - Julie retreats into herself in the days that following the accident that changed her life. She is determined to push it all away; to block everyone and everything out. That is until one night she breaks down and calls Sam's phone just to listen to his voicemail one last time. She knows she shouldn't. She knows it won't help her heal. And she knows she must be losing it when Sam picks up the phone.

“Who are you writing for again?" Mr. Lee asks, arching a brow. He asked me this before. I know the answer he wants to hear. I write for myself. I'm not sure what this really means, though. I can't help caring about what people think, especially about my writing. "We have too many voices inside our heads. You have to pick out the ones that mean something to you. What story do you want to tell?”

This book is a treasure from SO many different angles. The unhelpful and unwarranted manifestations of Julie's grief was especially palpable to me personally. We get to see all these layers of her mourning process - starting with denial and even bargaining - that ultimately lead her to a place of reluctant acceptance. When my dad died I remember my friend telling me, "It's ok if you grieve now or if you grive in six months. There really is no schedule and however you do it is okay." I certainly needed to hear that at the time because there is absolutely nothing graceful about bereavement. Loss is a messy process. Watching Julie sabotage herself with a deep and desperate sadness that bordered on frustrating for me as a reader, was honestly a brilliant move by Thao. You've Reached Sam will speak to anyone that has had to say goodbye to a loved one or, honestly, anyone that has watched someone else have to do the same. In my experience, it can be nearly as devastating to witness someone tearing them-self apart with anguish as it can be to experience it personally.

Oh my heart. I ate this one up. Gorgeous and breathtaking. Beautiful and emotional. What a journey. Grab some tissues. It’s a ride. I’m kind of speechless. I can’t recommend this one enough.

Julie has her entire future planned out with everything she wants: the love of her life (Sam), a dream college away from her small town, and a lifetime filled with happiness. But then the unthinkable happens: Sam dies. Julie's entire world shifts overnight and she doesn't understand how to continue her life with her heart shattered. When she calls Sam's phone just to hear him one last time, Sam picks up. Will this miraculous connection between Sam and Julie allow her to move on or will it just break her heart even more?

I went into this book expecting a sad story and I wasn't wrong. Everything about this is emotional. Julie has just lost Sam and is now stuck between her unimaginable future and her past memories. Some chapters are told as dream-like flashbacks which give the reader a look into Jam's relationship (jam? sulie? what's their ship name lol). I like these flashbacks as well as the present-day scenes; both include meaningful additions to the story.

I enjoy how Julie isn't necessarily a likable protagonist. Everyone processes grief differently and it just happens to be that Julie's version of grief distances herself from friends, family, and her future. It also causes her to do some pretty sh!tty things to the people she loves. Julie's connection with Sam further complicates her grief process and is the reason why her recovery in this story is so interesting.

There is nothing I dislike about the book. Julie has an amazing character arc and the reader understands her more as time separates her from Sam. Overall, I know this book will be loved and will touch many people's hearts.

Julie and Sam were end goal. A rock solid couple, they were going to graduate, move to a new city, live out the rest of their lives together. And yet, somehow, Julie finds herself curled up in bed, listening to the last message Sam left her before he was involved in a fatal car crash. The last message he will ever give her- or so she thinks. When she goes to ring Sam's voicemail again, he picks up: not alive, not a figure of the past, but there, on the other end of the line. Together, Sam and Julie start to navigate the devastation of never getting to say goodbye- whilst learning that both letting go, and holding on, are their own kinds of impossible.

As you might expect, this book is absolutely heart-wrenching! Thao's writing is beautiful, especially when he writes about place. The grief was also really well articulated- even though Julie's character was frustrating at times, her pain made her endearing and understandable even when I kinda wanted to shake her! It was lovely to see her grow as a character, to realise and appreciate the mistakes she might have made, whilst also appreciating them as part of her journey. I do wish that there was more exploration of some of the other characters, in particular Mika and Sam himself (who felt somewhat beatified); however, I can also see the effect that not doing this had, in that it created more of a world as seen from Julie's perspective. Probably my major criticism is that I didn't entirely get a sense of Sam and Julie's relationship: it felt like they were more best friends than anything, and I wish the romance had been explored some more.

Overall, this was a really solid novel, and I'm excited to read more from Thao!

Please take in mind it’s my opinion, and everyone is allowed to have one.

I was so interesting from beginning till the end, I truly didn’t know what to expect of this book. I just can’t believe how much this book has wrecked me, I full out sobbed while reading it. It was the most heartbreaking but cutest story ever.

The way I felt so connected with both Julie and Sam, I loved their story. It was so well written, everything seemed to be right.

I would honestly recommend this book to everyone.

This book felt like a brief warm hug. I feel like it would make a very interesting animated movie. the visuals would be beautiful.The way Dustin Thao describes certain scenes made it all the more play like a movie in my head. It's a beautiful little story. Like a snippet of an alternate reality that you appreciate for what it is. I think it would resonate with a lot of people. As it did with me.

the dialogue felt a little robotic at first and the ending was kind of predictable. But otherwise it really hit home. I will be reading any of Dustin Thao's next books.

Also, I love this cover.

You’ve Reached Sam follows Julie, a high-school girl who is trying to come to terms with the loss of her long-term boyfriend and the unravelling of all of the plans that they had for the future. Her mourning takes a sudden turn, though, when she calls Sam’s phone in a moment of weakness and he actually picks up.

What follows is a heart-wrenching story of love and loss, and an emotional portrayal of a young woman dealing with grief and the urge to move on.

This book is as emotional as you’d expect. It’s filled with touching scenes about Sam and Julie’s relationship, heart-breaking moments of grief as she tries to cope with her loss, and touching friendships with Sam’s family and friends as they all struggle to move on in different ways.

Some of Julie’s actions are flawed and, normally, I would criticise a protagonist for their mistakes, but everything she does is because of her grief and mourning. I got frustrated when she missed opportunities that I wished she would take, but it was so understandable for someone in her position that, instead of being critical, I felt largely empathetic.

This was a really bittersweet, emotional story about young love, loss and figuring out what’s important in life. It’s a poignant contemporary with fantasy elements that I would absolutely recommend if you’re looking for a book to make you cry.

I'd like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for providing an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.
3.5 stars
You've Reached Sam has such a gut-wrenching premise. I wanted to have my heart broken by it, I wanted to cry. And I did, mostly during the beginning and the ending, but it was not as emotionally powerful as it could have been, and maybe that's on my expectations and not the book itself.
I think the biggest barrier to the emotional connection I wanted is Julie. I'm not one of those people who read a YA novel and then get mad that the characters act like teenagers, I'm not mad about Julie's immaturity or how she dealt with grief. I just didn't like her personality-wise, even during the flashbacks when there was no grief to taint her choices and attitudes.
I also found it weird that the author chose to show anti-Asian racism through the eyes of a white girl, but I'm a white girl myself so I won't tackle that because I'm sure we will get more insightful reviews on that from Asian readers.
I would still recommend it for the ending, you just have to get through a whole lot of middle.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

Tw: grief, car accident, death

Julie has her future all planned out - move out of her small town with her boyfriend and attend college in the city. That is until Sam suddenly dies and Julie's whole world is wrecked. In a desperate attempt to hear his voice again Julie dials his number and miraculously Sam picks up. Julie has a second chance to say goodbye but that will prove to be more difficult than she thought.

This story was gut-wrenching and it completely destroyed my heart, it dealt with grief egregiously and I loved all the characters, from the main to the minor ones.

Dustin Thao's writing was excellent and I really enjoyed the rollercoaster of emotion he put us through.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who's looking for a good cry and a heartbreaking story.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read an early copy.

I LOVED this book! I don't think I could recommend in this book enough to everyone! I'm not kidding when I say that once I read the Prologue I was hooked and just knew that this book was going to be five stars. This story centers grief and learning how to let go of people even when you want so hard to hold on to them forever. One of my favorite aspects of the story was the setting. Washington is my home state so every location that was referenced in this book I knew exactly where it was and had been there. I think when you read about your home state there's immediately this underlying connection of wow this book gets me. It's comforting. Like a warm hug. I thought that Julia's character was very honest which I appreciated. It was seen in this book how grief can take many faces, whether that's letting go completely, burying your feelings and moving on, or dwelling too much on the what ifs. Sam was an absolute sweetheart and they both just had my whole heart. Also, Mikah was another wonderful character. She was the one I could relate to the most.

I loved the juxtaposition between this overarching weight of grief with the tones of hopefulness seen strung throughout every memory Julia recalled. This book did make me cry and feel all the emotions, but it was also just so wholesome and it made me genuinely squeal out loud. Another aspect I enjoyed was watching friendships bloom between Julie and her other friends. There's always a comfort in knowing there are people who are always going to have your back and the depiction of that in this book was phenomenal.

You've Reached Sam was such a wonderfully sweet read. The writing was wonderful, and fit the story so well. It made me sad right from the beginning, but full of a real understanding of handling grief. It was one of those wonderful books that does magical realism so right. It uses the fantastical only to enhance the real feelings of grief and moving on, and it was so sweet.

The story is about a young high school girl named Julie, who is struggling to grieve and move on from the death of her long term boyfriend, Sam. Through the struggle in trying to cope with the loss of Sam, she tries to call him to listen to his voicemail... and he picks up. Now Julie must deal with how to live her life with this second chance they have been given to say goodbye.

Though this book is naturally really sad, considering the main topic is about getting over the death of the love one. But what I really enjoyed was that the writing went with it so well. The writing was light, and so it let you fill in your own emotion into the story. We all know grief in some way, and we all grief different, and Dustin Thao really gave us the space to do that, while we grieved with Julie. It all worked together in such a great way, I absolutely adored it.

Another thing that I really loved that goes along with the writing was that Thao really was able to navigate the use of cell phones in writing so well. Which is huge, considering how the entire plot centers around that. I was a little nervous going in about that, as I feel that the book industry hasn't really universally gotten good at incorporating cell phones into novels yet. It's way too often that I see some weirdly formatted text in a book that is pretty underwhelming. But even though the main characters were speaking on the phone, it didn't feel that way at all. Amazing work!

Naturally the best part for me was the representation!!! Most of the cast is Asian and it makes me so happy. I loved seeing Julie's friends pass her cut fruit and green tea kit kats. It just filled me with so much joy! I also loved that Mika wasn't incredibly familiar with their family traditions and customs, because I can relate to that a lot. It goes along with that feeling of unbelonging that a lot of Asian Americans feel, and I was glad it was mentioned.

As for the story, I don't want to say it was predictable, because that has a bad connotation. But it was predictable in the best way. It was obvious before I even started the book that this connection was going to be used as a metaphor for moving on and coping with loss, but it was still a joy to read. I think this book is a great book to help teens understand loss and moving on. I am really glad this book exists, and it was just what I needed to read!

I first saw this book late last year and loved the cover and the summary. When it finally appeared on NetGalley I requested it immediately and am so thankful I got the chance to read this book. I loved this book. Did I love the MC, Julie? Nope. But her pain was so palpable it kept me reading to see how she would heal. I’m not one to cry but I’ll admit numerous times I cried my eyes out while reading this book. The author has a way with words that sucks you in and completely immerses you in the world he creates. This was a well written and deeply emotional read. I recommend it and will definitely be waiting for its release in November. Thanks again to NetGalley and Wednesday Books for the opportunity to read such a beautiful and moving book.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with this arc in exchange for my honest opinion.

When I first read about “You’ve reached Sam” I thought that it wouldn’t be a book for me but then a friend of mine loved it and the absolutely beautiful cover baited me into trying it anyway. I wish I hadn’t. As suspected the book just wasn’t for me. I usually already don’t enjoy sad books and what made me enjoy “You’ve Reached Sam” even less was the main character Julie. With her self-centered and sometimes downright bitchy behaviour I just found her extremely unlikable. I even had to put the book away a couple of times because I needed a break from her.
I also was confused a couple of times with the content of the book, especially when Julie dives into her memories, like in the prologue since it seems to be a mixture of memories and a dream and while the memories were there to give an understanding of Julie and Sam’s relationship and what kind of a person Sam was, it just felt super rushed and I didn’t enjoy the writing style in these scenes at all.
I also feel like the phone calls didn’t really make a difference except for making the premise sound more unique and interesting and it felt like pretty much all they did was to allow Julie to get away better with the way she behaved and were extremely unhealthy on top of that. The book displayed Julie’s grieving process which would have happened with or without the phone calls but of course in a different way. **SPOILER I probably would have liked it better without the calls especially since the phone calls are not really explained and it is expected of the reader to simply accept them. SPOILER END**

I was buddy reading this book with a friend and she enjoyed it a lot more than I did so I really think it is on me for picking this book when I already had the suspicion that I might not like it and as the book progressed I felt like I was picking it apart and jumping at every opportunity that could justify my dislike of the book. I can’t even say that it was bad or problematic, “You’ve Reached Sam” just wasn’t for me.

These days, Facebook feels like an obituary. It is so normal to be surrounded by death during this pandemic, especially since many of them die without proper ways of saying goodbye. I’ve never really appreciated wakes and funerals until they have been restricted for public safety. How then do we deal with grief? You’ve Reached Sam offers a way to explore how our world changes after someone dies and how to live on when life does not follow our plans.

Though the main characters have been in a romantic relationship, this is not a love story. Julie and Sam could have been just friends and the story would not have changed much. With Sam’s death, Julie’s idea of the world–graduation, college plans, and life in Ellensburg–has changed drastically, and this time, she does not have the support of her probably greatest cheerleader.

I love how this book takes us through the very messy reality of loss: a rollercoaster ride that keeps changing its tracks after each loop every time you feel that you’ve reach the end. Unlike in other books, here there is no linear growth through the usual five stages of grief. In fact, none of these terms are mentioned at all. There are no neat labels, no checklist of behaviors boxing Julie’s experience. There are no expectations of what Julie should have accomplished X months after Sam’s death, but neither does the book ignore the very real consequences of neglecting some responsibilities.

Instead of achieving arbitrary milestones set by psychology textbooks, the book conceptualizes mourning as a collective activity. Everyone is learning how to navigate around the Sam-shaped hole in their lives–first by trying to fill it with vigils and other rituals of honoring, and later by self-appointed missions to carry out his legacy. I love that it does not attempt to erase Sam’s life, personality, and legacy, nor does it minimize him to the point of being a ghost or fever dream. It’s also interesting to note how these “Sam gaps” vary from one person to another and one circle to another, and how the characters try to resolve these differences by redefining their relationships with each other. This approach takes away the usual solo-flight/individual inner peace only; rather, this little community reshapes its network in a way that allows each member to recover from isolation and shock.

As much as I love slow-paced books and usually gel with them right away, it took me a while to get into this. It requires living in Julie’s head as she processes the world around her, and though the memories that she dredges up are thematically appropriate, these specific moments sometimes don’t add much to push the narrative format. The book then feels too bagged down by unnecessary emotional baggage, and the “Before” chapters can quite be dragging. I hate being duped into manufacturing sadness just for the sake of crying and I can’t help but think that the book is banking on a flood of tears to blur my eyes from the lack of depth in the narrative. I love it when flashbacks serve as foreshadowing for any kind of emotional struggle in the next chapters, yet it doesn’t seem the case for this book. The readers are treated to an extended tour around the Julie-and-Sam show, and although it’s fascinating to read about their cute adventures, it can be a bit tedious to read nothing new.

Since it’s very much a character-led story, I know how important it is to put myself in Julie’s shoes but honestly… I don’t like being in her head. She is a very flawed but realistic character, and her voice is quite distinct, but for some reason, I feel uncomfortable because I don’t personally agree with a lot of her life decisions 😅 [Note: I strongly advise against choosing a college based on your significant other’s decisions] It took Chapter 5 for me to be familiar enough with Julie’s mindset, and to be softer and more forgiving towards her.

At first, it’s tempting to reduce Julie’s identity to her relationship with Sam, but that isn’t the case here. In her memories, one can see that she has always been grounded with other interests: her relationship with her monm, her writing, her work in the book store, and so much more. She and Sam are a team, yes, but it doesn’t seem that she has lost herself entirely. She may have lost some connections to her hobbies that Sam brings to the table, but once she is able to get back on her feet, she is pretty much okay. She isn’t as isolated socially or wholly dependent on Sam as I first assumed, which is both a breath of fresh air and also a sad realization about many of the other contemporary books I’ve read–YA or otherwise.

Overall, I actually like this book. Though it has not reduced me to a puddle of tears from the prologue alone like with some other friends, I still appreciate its presentation of grief and loss. I think that if I were to read this in 2016 or 2017, I would have loved it more and sobbed my heart out so that Julie wouldn’t have to.

If you are struggling to mourn, then this might help you gain words to describe and validate what you feel. If you are at the cusp of a huge life transition that has suddenly been taken away from you by factors beyond your control, then you might find Julie’s actions understandable–not really acceptable, but very very relatable.

Whether our specific grief is represented well here or not, I hope that reading You’ve Reached Sam will be able to help you heal.

this is a very lovely story that deals with A LOT of grief. if you can't handle that, don't read this book. i knew what i had to expect, i still felt a bit overwhelmed and cried (that doesn't happen a lot to me while reading). it's sad. it's so sad, but it's beautiful, too.

this is not a book packed with action. the gentle writing style guides you through julie's journey trying to connect and let go of sam.

some parts weirdly reminded me of that part of twilight when bella is depressed because edward has left her, and then she keeps seeing him in her head. this definitely gave me the same vibes.

we've also got some nice representation: sam is japanese american and there's also two queer side characters (one is very minor though).

lastly, the ending felt a bit.. unfinished or rather underwhelming? it was predictable. nothing about this book is actually unpredictable, yet it still offers a journey worth taking, in my humble opinion. it's the beauty of a character-driven book!

tw: major character death, harassment

I picked up this book after seeing the beautiful art on the cover, and the writing was just as beautiful to go alongside of it.

If you like getting your heart broken by death trope, grieving and lost loves, not to mention those things combined making you cry multiple times almost like you're the protagonist of this novel, Julie, who recently just got her whole world shifted when her boyfriend, Sam, unexpectedly passes away, then this is a recommended book for you.

Dustin Thao's writing is so beautiful and so easy that I found myself so caught up to the point I didn't notice how far I was into the book until I was 3 sobs in and definitely worrying the other people I live with. Julie is a perfect protagonist in my opinion. I liked the fact she was not perfect, I liked the fact she had the reader rolling their eyes at her past and present actions. I liked how realistic she was as she struggled with her stages of grief.

Another positive of this book is that though Sam passes away very early in, you still get to know his character — through the phone calls and also with the flashes back into the past almost like a dream for Julie.

An amazing book overall with realistic descriptions of grief and loss and anger and all the other stages, at the same time as tackling a very stressful senior year of a teenager.

I've just finished reading this beautiful, emotional, sweet gem of a book that will pull on all of your heartstrings. At first everything starts out absolutely perfect for Julie and Sam. They are 17, in love, finishing up high school and working on their graduation plans, getting an apartment and their future together. Suddenly Sam is killed unexpectedly in an accident and everyone that knew him is devastated!

Everyone is sad and grieving, and they end up dealing with Sam's death their own way. Julie is so upset she didn't even attend Sam's funeral, or any of the vigils that people held for him. She is in her bedroom with tears, reminiscing the good times she had when Sam was still alive and she was looking at her cell phone, she calls his number just to hear his voice on voicemail again and, he picks up the phone from beyond! He says "Hello?" !! How is this possible?? From then she is somehow able to have several conversations with him about life before the accident, as well as the "what if's". Sam tells her she is to keep her conversations with him a secret, it is the "rules". Between Julie and Sam's ability to have those conversations, she is able to find better closure not only for herself, but for some other people as well, like her and Sam's best friend Mika, and Sam's family, especially his little brother Jimmy who was blaming himself, but shouldn't have been. There are some other things happen in this book too, but you will have to read it to find out.

I loved that Sam was able to have Julie go to some places that he wanted to show her but never got the chance to, and that he was able to direct her to some special gifts.

When it was time for Julie and Sam to find closure and say goodbye it was really emotional and sad, but also kind of okay. At least they got to have that last chance to talk, say things that were never said, and be able to move on.  Wouldn't it be nice if people could actually have such a chance in real life?


I would like to thank #NetGalley, the publisher, St. Martin's Books/Wednesday Books, and the author Dustin Thao for this eARC in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

It seems silly to state this because it seems like the obvious, but wow was the emotional book! You've Reached Sam follows protagonist Julie, as she griefs for her recently deceased boyfriend, Sam.

The story is told through analepsis, dream sequences, and the present, allowing the reader to glimpse at Sam & Julies love story, and how she is coping now that she is gone. Spoiler alert: not very well. Julie is so overcome with grief and guilt, that she throws away Sam's things and refuses to attend his funeral, determined that she just needs to try to forget about it and move on. It doesn't take her long to realise that things aren't that easy, and that she never wants to forget Sam . . . so she picks up her phone and dials him. He answers.

The phone calls provide a space for Sam and Julie to get one last goodbye. I found the conversations interesting and emotional, and I enjoyed being able to hear Sam's voice (I was hoping that the end would be like lol joke he's somehow risen from the dead!). I would have liked a bit more out of the phone calls than Julie just recapping her day at school, I wish they had more conversations between them, but the reminiscence about their past and their mutual grief about lack of future was an interesting dynamic to explore multiple types of grief - Sam's for his loss of life and everything that entails, their mutual future together, etc. Despite Sam's lack of 'page presence' he was the most intriguing character, and character I connected with the most. I felt his loss.

Although we as the reader spent the book inside Julie's head, she was hard to connect to. Now, I understand she was grieving, but during the flashbacks to her and Sam's relationship, I did struggle to see what he saw in her. Often I found she was selfish with him and bratty. He buy's her one bookend and she's like 'well where is the other one? That makes no sense' and he's like 'I couldn't afford it' (turned out he had saved it for a later date), and how she struggled to allow him to have relationships with other people that didn't involve her. I'm not sure this was meant to be painted as a picture perfect romance, it was about Julie's grief over all, and she did love Sam, but it wasn't a romance I was truly invested in because of the way she treated him.

I really did enjoy the writing style, and it captures your attention from the get go. The way the past plays sort of like a montage in a dream sequence, was really stunning and well written. Julie's grief felt very tangible.

I know some other readers seemed to have issues that it wasn't explained how Sam could connect with Julie from the afterlife, but I wasn't too bothered by that. I think any answer would've detracted from the main point of the story, and leaving it speculative was a good open ended move.

Overall, I really did enjoy (funny to say that!) this novel, and I recommend it to you if you want a good little cry one afternoon.

DNF. The story had a lot of potential but it honestly wasn’t going anywhere. There was no point or goal to the story at all. The whole story was the MC talking to her dead boyfriend while she just went on with her everyday things 🤷🏻‍♀️. I don’t usually DNF books but what made me do it was (if you are interested in content read “spoiler” which really isn’t that of a spoiler anyway)

.spoiler below! You’ve been warned :s


....that a character was homosexual. I was getting red flags from the beginning when the “dead boyfriends” guy best friend started acting wierd with his friend’s girlfriend saying how she smelled like him when she wore one of his shirts and then proceeding to act all eek. And then him telling her how she hated her for so long because she stole him from him 🙄..... pls note the “dead boyfriend” was straight so....



Yeah, kinda sucks because it sounded amazing and that cover is gorgeous but oh well. Thank you, next :)
